ahahha my other half only did that once

I just about laughed him the fuck out of the house.

Me personally? Caysh. Because that's the way I was taught at school (Australia). I see via Google that most dictionaries say it should be pronounced cash.

The voice-over guy on one of the ads on tv here at the moment? Cash-ay. Peeves me no end.

I tend to say Caysh as well (fellow Aussie) Most of the indians at work say "Cash" though.

Just asked the (Unix Admin) hubby, and he says caysh as well. He also says all the guys in his team say caysh - as he's never heard anyone at work say anything else BUT caysh...

Maybe it's an Aussie thing :D

Well that's two unix admin that say so (is also admin), so fuck the rest of the world. WE CANNOT BE ARGUED WITH.

Cash. But is that a British English thing?

[tullamoredew.livejournal.com]

Cash, just like you say "nish" to name a niche.

^ this, exactly (right down to the Australia part :D)

[swwinchester.livejournal.com]

I pronounce it "Da Tingy".

*raises blast shield*

No, seriously? Cash is the standard in the USA, from what I've been able to tell.

[gholam.livejournal.com]

There is a database system (http://www.intersystems.com/) that is, to the best of my knowledge, pronounced like that.

My Australian friend pronounces it the same way, and it sounds completely wrong to British ears - well, wrong for a tech in the know, anyway. In the UK, it's pronounced Cash, and is only pronounced cashe by the kind of people that say Lienucks.

Said Australian friend also says "Darta", as opposed to "Dayta". Is that also an Aussie thing?

[spooforbrains.livejournal.com]

What about "router"?

[jennlee2.livejournal.com]

Cash - if I'm talking about a hidden supply of something, or stuff in computer memory. Ca-shay if I'm talking about the programming language formerly known as MUMPS (it even has the accent mark - Caché).

Never caysh. I've never even heard that pronunciation.

[jennlee2.livejournal.com]

Yep, it is. A name marginally better than its previous incarnation - MUMPS.

Caysh. And I'm American, NEVER heard it pronounced cash. 'Cause that's the stuff you spend. :D
